Intended Use
PDO (Polydioxanone) Monofilament Synthetic Absorbable Sutures U.S.P. are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in pediatric cardiovascular tissue where growth is expected to occur and ophthalmic surgery. PDO is not indicated for use in adult cardiovascular tissue, microsurgery and neural tissue. These sutures are useful where an absorbable suture with extended wound support (up to six weeks) is desirable.
Device Description
The PDO (Polydioxanone) Monofilament Synthetic Absorbable Sutures, U.S.P. manufactured by ARC Medical and CP Medical are monofilament suture composed of a Poly(p-dioxanone) acid, un-dyed or dyed with D&C Violet No. 2.

No
The summary describes a traditional surgical suture and contains no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.

No.
The device is an absorbable suture, which is used for wound closure and tissue approximation, not for therapy in the traditional sense.

No

This device is a surgical suture used for approximation and/or ligation of soft tissues, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device is a physical suture made of polydioxanone, not a software program.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that this device is a surgical suture used for soft tissue approximation and/or ligation. This is a physical device used in vivo (within the body) during surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 878.4840 Absorbable polydioxanone surgical suture.

(a)
Identification. An absorbable polydioxanone surgical suture is an absorbable, flexible, sterile, monofilament thread prepared from polyester polymer poly (p-dioxanone) and is intended for use in soft tissue approximation, including pediatric cardiovascular tissue where growth is expected to occur, and ophthalmic surgery. It may be coated or uncoated, undyed or dyed, and with or without a standard needle attached.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for the device is FDA's “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Surgical Sutures; Guidance for Industry and FDA.” See § 878.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.
